Intolongo eyayisakuba yiSoviet Socialist Republic yaseLatvia yaphinda yavulwa njengendawo enomtsalane kubakhenkethi apho iindwendwe zihlawulela ukulala eziseleni ezingenanto “njengamabanjwa” yaye zithukwa ngabasebenzi abanxibe njengabalindi.
ULasma Eglite, umphathi kwindawo eyayikade iyimfihlo kwizibuko laseLatvia eKarosta. “Siphatha iindwendwe njengamabanjwa,” utshilo uNksk. Ukuba amabanjwa akathobeli, ayathukwa, athukwe aze ohlwaywe ngokwenza umthambo okanye imisebenzi yokucoca indlu yangasese.
Utyelelo lunokuhlala kwikota yeyure ukuya kumini nobusuku. Ngentlawulo eyongezelelekileyo, umkhenkethi unokulungiselela ukuba “abanjwe” ngaphambi kokuba asiwe entolongweni.
